The Contino Property is a newly discovered Blue-Green Opal Deposit that's located in Canoas, Peru, which is located on the South Pacific Ocean. Canoas, Peru has been known for opal mining over the past few years and is typically found as a light blue to dark green in color at the Contino Property. Peru, has been known for producing wide variety of grades in opal that range from rough to gemstone quality opal.

Mineralized zones of feldspathic and latite are known to commonly contribute to the deposition of opal that was first deposited by process of metallic solutions. These are also considered to be distinct from the halloysite depositing acid solutions that proceed the ore forming solution. The foremost solutions had commonly made opal widely distributed and abundant through the mineralized latite and feldspathic formation. in some cases, opal is also contributed towards trace elements in silver and zinc depositions. Exploratory work has also identified that the opal potentially constitutes much of the bulk that can be mined as economical standard deposits. Opal that is found on the property is also considered to break with a conchoidal and Hackley fracture like glass, and has a peculiar shiny luster that is seen within the picture provided at the top. The appearance in opal that is found in many colors is known to give off a wet crystalized structure that makes it stand out as medium to high-grade opal.

Some of the many varieties of opal which are found at the Contino property, included mustard-yellow, black, brown, white, and light-bluish to dark green opal in color. Opal which is commonly deposited is known to typically get its color from the attribution of different impurities with the surrounding geological environment its deposited in. The Tint of some Red Fire Opal is of different distribution that's formed through disseminated cinnabar, and is known to be of different shade and is colored by iron oxidization. Some of the brown or yellow opal is also known to have gotten its colors from oxidization just like the Red Fire Opal. A minor amount of black opal is also present in which had rather gotten its color through small amounts of Magnesium oxides.

Opal contributes acts as a replacement that is commonly intense that the latite becomes completely replace by it. Opal within Latite deposits is known to outline the replacement of phenocrysts that can still be seen within the latite ore-bearing body. Some sections where the latite is incompletely replaced by Opal, the ground mass has been replaced by it, but the phenocrysts have not. Some may also be irregular in shape, but many of them are known to commonly be rectangular voids from which the feldspar phenocryst may have been leached. Chrysocolla is commonly responsible for giving a bluish-green opal like substance that occurs in the oxidized ores of the district, which is apart of hydrous silicate solutions, which evidently are known to be colloidal
